Inventing a fairy tale story immerses a child in the world of magic, allows him to enter a fairy-tale world, become a creator and develop qualities such as kindness, courage, courage. By writing, schoolchildren not only complete their homework, but also try themselves as a writer and storyteller. Children especially enjoy the tasks of inventing fairy tales. Joy, pleasure from one's creativity and the well-deserved attention and interest in a fairy tale from friends - this is the main joy for children.
In addition, fairy tales invented by children help adults understand the child’s inner world, see his hidden emotions, fears or hidden desires. And for children, writing a fairy tale allows you to return to the world of magical childhood.
Drawings made by schoolchildren for invented fairy tales are also very interesting.

- main action,
- denouement + epilogue (preferably)
- a fairy tale should teach something good
The presence of these components will make your tale complete and allow you to get a good grade.
Here are a few short fairy tales that schoolchildren came up with for a literary reading lesson in 3rd grade.
Little Fairy
On the shore of a large lake, a little Fairy lived in a beautiful house. She had a magic wand.
With her help, the Fairy helped the unfortunate and made everything beautiful around her house. On the other side lived an evil Magician. He didn't like the Fairy because she was kind. He wanted to destroy her. The magician turned into a gray wolf and ran to the other side of the lake. The fairy noticed the limping wolf and ran out of her house, taking the medicine with her. The wolf began to whine, but the Fairy felt something was wrong. She took out her magic wand and recited the spell.
The wolf turned into a magician again. He started throwing fireballs at her. The Little Fairy decided not to use her magic and hid behind a tree. She took a ball of thread from her pocket, quickly pulled it between the trees and called the Magician. "I'm here! I'm here! – the Fairy shouted, luring the Magician. The evil wizard did not notice the trap, stumbled and sprawled on the grass. The Fairy instantly picked a dandelion, because she knew that if she blew on the Magician, he would explode. She did just that. The fairy gathered all her strength and blew. The magician has disappeared. A real holiday began in the forest, everyone was singing and having fun!
Magic bear
I’ll tell you a fairy tale that is interesting, very interesting, magical, and beyond magical. I had a teddy bear: it was old, an ear was torn off. But I loved him more than all the toys.
My bear was just an ordinary bear, but suddenly he started talking! He said that he could fulfill three wishes, but only the kindest ones.
My friend Lena dreamed of a Baby Bon doll, and the bear immediately fulfilled her dream.
I really wanted to get a dog, and she appeared immediately! But I didn’t make a third wish, let it remain in reserve. And my teddy bear disappeared! But I hope that he will definitely return when I decide to make my third wish.
Bear promised me this!
Magical girl
Once upon a time there lived a girl - the Sun. And she was called the Sun because she smiled. The sun began to travel across Africa. She felt thirsty. When she said these words, a large bucket of cool water suddenly appeared. The girl drank some water, and the water was golden. And the Sun became strong, healthy and happy. And when things were difficult for her in life, those difficulties went away. And the girl realized about her magic. She wished for toys, but it didn’t come true. The Sun began to act up and the magic disappeared. It is true what they say: “If you want a lot, you will get little.”

Essay based on a series of pictures
For such an activity, you will have to select a suitable series of pictures in advance. For example, pictures from manuals on speech development, which make up a series of illustrations on a single subject. For these purposes, it is convenient to use speech therapy albums, various manuals and primers. If a child does not attend kindergarten, he definitely needs such exercises: it is this type of work that causes difficulties for children when entering school. From time to time, didactic material needs to be updated, new options for working with old pictures need to be invented. An essay based on pictures will be indispensable both on a long journey and during a child’s illness, when you need to keep him in a relatively motionless and calm state for some time.
The purpose of this task is to help you see the colorfulness and brightness of the images created in the picture; develop the ability to correctly select verbs and adjectives to describe characters. You have to teach your child to build a plot in a logically correct sequence, to characterize the place and time of action - this should contribute to the development of the child’s imagination and creative thinking. When looking at the first drawing with your child, draw the child’s attention to what kind of area is depicted in the drawing: “Who (what characters) do you see here? What are they doing? Where are they located? What is the situation around them? What time of year (day)? What signs indicate this? When using illustrations for fairy tales, you must definitely draw the child’s attention to the fact that the plot of the pictures is fairy-tale (for example, a mouse is playing with a balloon, etc.).
The beginning of the fairy tale is compiled from the first picture (“Once upon a time...”). The second picture is examined in more detail: the adult draws the child’s attention to smaller objects: “What do you think this is? I wonder why he (she, it) is needed here?” An adult can help come up with names for the characters, ask which character you especially liked and why. In the process of working with pictures, you need to react emotionally to children's remarks, helping in composing a fairy tale and describing the characters, and asking leading questions at a dynamic pace. When the fairy tale is invented, you can invite the child to tell it to one of his relatives, and also tell the listeners about the process of its creation.

Strong love
Late in the evening, an evil sorceress settled in the castle. She wanted to become the most powerful sorceress in the world to take over the world. For this she came up with a plan. The sorceress wanted to turn into a beautiful princess who lived next door, and turn the princess into some kind of animal or bird. Then she could take possession of her kingdom and the neighboring one.
The princess of that kingdom had beautiful black hair, green eyes and a slightly snub nose. The princess's name was Aurora. She was friends with a prince from a neighboring kingdom.
The prince's name was Charles. He was a real prince.
The witch wanted to turn Aurora into a fat Christmas goose so that she would be eaten at Christmas, but the princess turned into a beautiful swan because she was very good, kind and beautiful. The swan princess flew out the open window and settled in the forest.
Charles went looking for Aurora because he loved her very much. He was riding a horse and came across the witch's palace. The cunning witch came out to the prince in the form of Aurora and said to him:
- Take me away from here quickly!
Charles did not believe the witch; he felt that the princess was somehow different from always.
Then the angry witch cast a spell on him so that the prince would believe her every word. But the prince's love was so strong that her spell did not work.
Charles did not show that the spell had no effect on him. And he took the witch Aurora through the forest. They drove up to the river. The bridge was very fragile, and it could not have supported the three of them. Charles let his horse go first. When the horse walked across the bridge, the bridge suddenly became wider, and the horse passed as if nothing had happened. Then the witch went. But the bridge did not expand, but, on the contrary, began to narrow even more. The sorceress fell off the bridge, but grabbed onto a stone. Charles helped her get out - he extended his hand to her. But then he suddenly grabbed her by the neck and began to shake her over the abyss, asking: “Where is the real Aurora?” The sorceress replied: “You will never find her! She flies in the forest with wild birds!” Charles threw the witch into the abyss.
The prince went to look for the princess in the forest. One thing he knew for sure was that the princess was now a bird. He thought: “Why didn’t the spell break?” While thinking, he came across a lake where birds were swimming - white and black swans. And the prince suddenly felt that his beloved was here. A snow-white bird flew up to him. He felt that it was her, it was Aurora. He took the bird in his arms and carried it to his palace.
A good old wizard lived in Charles's palace. The wizard told the prince that the spell could be broken with a kiss. Charles kissed the bird and it turned into Aurora.
They lived happily ever after, had many children and died on the same day.
Tale of a cat
Once upon a time there lived a good sorceress. Her name was Cecile. She knew how to turn evil creatures into good ones. She had an angry black cat named Melida. Cecile didn't know she was evil because Melida only became evil at night. When Cecile slept, Melida turned into a spirit, and in order to become a cat again in the morning, she needed to find any ordinary black cat and kill it. Without this, she could not regain her cat form.
On a summer night, when Cecile was fast asleep, Melida, as always, turned into a spirit and went to look for her new victim. She searched all night, but never found it.
When morning came, Melida's spirit sat on the apple tree that grew in the yard. But in doing this, he was very mistaken.
The fact is that Cecil’s brother Jack, who was famous for his incredible strength, picked apples from this particular apple tree every morning. This morning Jack came in as usual and began shaking the apple tree. No matter how hard Melida tried to stay in the branches, she still fell.
Jack covered it like a butterfly with a handkerchief, put it in his pocket and took it to Cecile. Cecile began to ask the spirit who he was, where he came from and what he was doing on her tree? The spirit realized that Cecile was not going to do anything wrong, and revealed that he was actually the enchanted cat Melida.
Cecile felt sorry for Melida and all the other cats that her spirit had to kill at night. So she turned the spirit back into a cat.
Now forever.
A collection of fairy tales written by 5th grade students of State Budgetary Educational Institution Secondary School No. 12
From about two years old, children begin to be interested in fairy tales. They listen carefully to the magical stories that adults tell them. They enjoy looking at the bright pictures. They repeat words and whole sentences from their favorite fairy tales.
Psychologists say that such magical stories help a child understand the world around him and the relationships between people. Colorful images of heroes encourage children to think.
Using the example of fairy-tale characters, kids learn to distinguish between the elementary concepts of good and evil. It is not for nothing that such a direction in psychology as fairy tale therapy is very popular.
With its help, the development and correction of the child’s personality is carried out.
The hero did not know something and thanks to simple actions he found out. The hero was sad, but became cheerful. Someone was greedy, but thanks to the actions of the hero, he became kind. The hero corrected the injustice, made friends with other characters, saved the character and made him smile. I lost something, but as a result of my actions I found it.
For children aged 5 to 7 years, you can make the topics more complex.
Add villains, let the hero overcome three, not one, difficult situations. Add evil magic to your fairy tale, include the hero’s rebellious actions: disobedience, running away from home for adventure, committing a forbidden act. Weave morality into the story, summarized in proverbs and sayings.
What obstacles must the Hero of the written fairy tale overcome?
- solve a small or big problem,
- reach some destination as a result of travel,
- help yourself, a family member or simply save a person,
- fulfill the dream,
- get an answer to a question
- break the spell
- to cure or to be cured?
- find a friend or loved one.
